My Experience In Taiwan
Br. Manuel Zangui Francisco
about my own experience in Taiwan in a few
aspects. Just a few aspects because I could say that
I do not know much about Taiwanese culture yet.
Honestly speaking, I am still learning a lot day by
day.
Living one year in Taiwan as an SVD has
been a double edged sword for me. My experience

Moreover, everything being unfamiliar,
from the beginning, just getting to know the
people around me was all new for me. In this
way so many big surprises came. One example
is I soon noticed that a lot of people never heard
before about Angola, just Africa. So, more or
less, this was also a reason for me to feel lost
sometimes.
Lacking local SVD missionaries in
the house, I am always trying to experience
Taiwanese people in different ways. Ways such
as going to an SVD parish and relating with local
people, or participating in local activities, as for
instance the Student Clubs at Fu Jen. I try to
communicate (recently more often) with the local
students from Mingzhi Elementary School across
the street from our house in Taishan. I do that
also at Fu Jen and Sacred Heart of Jesus parish
in nearby Shulin.
One aspect that not only other foreigners
notice here, but I can feel in my actual experience
too, is that Taiwanese people are very kind
and hospitable. I can even say many love to
know more about the world. For example, I got
lost when I went alone to our SVD parish in
Dapinglin for the first time. There was a person
that I met who also did not know where the
church was. He noticed my feeling of worry.
He came right over to me, and quickly used not
mine, but his own mobile to search for it. Then
he walked with me. He brought me to the very

At the end of May 2019, I went for my home
leave to Slovakia. But this home leave was very
special for my family and me. It is because after
almost 13 years of waiting, formation, prayers
and preparation, by God’s grace, I was ordained
to the priesthood on June 22 in the parish church
of Assumption of Our Lady, which is attached to
our oldest Mission House in Slovakia, in Nitra,

After a few days, it was the turn of my two
confreres to say their First Masses in their home
towns. Then we went for a one week trip around
the Slovak and South Czech Republic Parishes and
Communities, and celebrated Masses for them.
After that our jorneys parted, and the three of us
went in various directions. After remaining a month
and a half for home leave, I departed for Taiwan at
the end of August.

the priesthood, I also thank all those who have

Fu Jen Catholic University
HOSPITAL
Fr. Jac Kuepers, SVD From its earliest days in Beijing Fu Jen
Catholic University had the idea of a medical
section. In the biology department already a
premedical course and a small laboratory was
set up. However, it was only years later, after
the re-establishment of Fu Jen in Taipei, that a
College of Medicine was begun. After a long
period of preparation, finally, on September 29,
2017, Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital was
opened. Our hospital meets a basic need in the
area of Xinzhuang,Taishan and Wugu, which lag
behind in medical services for the general public.
Cardinal Paul Shan of the Board of Trustees felt
from its inception that it should be a hospital with
a soul, i.e. filled with the spirit of Christ, giving
witness to the Catholic idea of medical care in
Taiwan. As a teaching hospital, it is also intended
to support Catholic hospitals, established by
earlier missionaries.

out its branches through Scripture and History,
bearing the abundant fruit of the ministry

hospital has fifteen floors above, and five below.
The first floors are quite spacious, and also are

Like all Catholic hospitals in Taiwan,
our focus is on taking care of the needy in the

and through fund raising. At the moment the daily
income and expenses are narrowly balanced, but
it will take many years to repay the loans.
Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital is
meant to be an instrument for the evangelization
of Taiwan society through the Christian witness
of loving care for the sick and poor. The hospital
also promotes respect for the sanctity of human
life and procreation. This is expressed in the core
value of the hospital: “We reverence God, love
our neighbor and treat patients as brothers and
sisters.” █
